Side Story, Hu Yulin Jie (3)
When he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Hu Yu gulped and hammered the pillow on the bed in anger.
It would be good to give her a bite later.
In her countless dreams, there was one person that she often dreamed of. However, after ascending, she and Lin Jie had not seen each other again.
The chicken drumstick that Hu Yu had eaten when she ascended was the most delicious one she had ever eaten. She really wanted to eat it again, but every time she dreamed of it, Lin Jie would always take the chicken drumstick and walk far away, or let her drool and talk until she ran out of words before walking away. In short, he would not let her eat a single bite.
Not even in his dreams.
Hu Yu smacked her lips. It was time to get up and wash up. There were maids around.
As he had ordered the all-chicken feast last night, he had shredded chicken porridge and stewed chicken for breakfast.
“Get Ming Zhu and Ming Yue to come see me,” Hu Yu said as he ate.
“Alright.” Xuemei nodded.
Xuemei went out. Hu Yu ate slowly. Although it was delicious, she felt that something was missing. So, Hu Yu stopped eating after she was half full.
Soon, Ouyang Mingyue and Ouyang Mingzhu arrived.
The two sisters were only one year apart. Their figures and heights were similar. One was thirteen years old, and the other was twelve years old. They were both timid little girls.
Ouyang Mingzhu was the eldest. She led Ouyang Mingyue to bow and greet her,”Mingzhu (Mingyue) greets Eldest Sister-in-law.”
” Get up.” Hu Yu raised his hand.” How are your studies?”
Women from wealthy families learned knowledge from a young age, and they were talented in the four arts. However, Ou Yangming Mingde was a newly promoted noble. He was born a commoner, and so were his two sisters. His parents passed away early, and when Ou Yangming Mingde joined the army, his two sisters were entrusted to their relatives. They lived under someone else’s roof since young, and they suffered a lot.
Now that they were living a better life, the capital was in deep water, and the two of them could not read. Ou Yangming hoped that they could read, so he sent them to a girls ‘school. Hu Yu also asked about them because she could not find anything else to talk about.
The original body didn’t like these two sisters either. She felt that they were not even as good as her little girls. They were not beautiful, and they were illiterate. They were vulgar village savages. How could they be worthy of calling her elder sister-in-law?
However, who knew that he would regret it after he died and would not hesitate to use merit to redeem this mistake.
Hu Yu revealed a gentle smile. Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue were nervous from the question and did not know how to answer. They secretly observed Hu Yu’s expression and saw that she was smiling. The two of them immediately knelt down.” Eldest Sister-in-law, please punish me.”
When they came to the capital, the elder brother who could support them went to the outside of the pass, and the eldest sister-in-law took charge of the family. Their lives were difficult.
The two of them were not young anymore. They had already passed the age where they could adapt to learning. Naturally, their grades were extremely poor. No matter how much they complained in their hearts, they could not resist as their eldest sister-in-law was their mother.
Hu Yu rubbed his forehead. He suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt and did not say anything.
If it was his original body, he would definitely be punished and coldly insulted.
It was because the original body had done that, so the two sisters knelt down and admitted their mistakes, asking for punishment.
After a moment of silence, Hu Yu sighed and said,” Your elder brother has been gone for several months. The border is dangerous and he won’t be able to return for a while. He entrusted me to take good care of you, hoping that I could choose a good man for you. But you should know that a talented man with knowledge will not like an illiterate woman. You are past the age of learning, so I can’t help but be a little harsh.”
Hu Yu felt that people in ancient times spoke in a cultured manner. If it was in modern times, it would be a sentence: take a piss and look at yourself. If you don’t know anything, you still want to get married. What are you thinking about?
That woman didn’t want to marry a good man.
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue looked up at Hu Yu with tears in their eyes. It turned out that Eldest Sister-in-law had been too harsh on them for their own good. They had been too short-sighted. Not only did they not understand Eldest Sister-in-law’s painstaking efforts, but they had also become resentful because of this. They really should not have.
For a moment, guilt and self-blame engulfed the two young and ignorant girls.
“Eldest sister-in-law, I’m sorry. We’ve let you down. In the future, my sister and I will definitely study hard. We won’t embarrass you and your brother.”
Ouyang Mingzhu said to Hu Yu with tears in her eyes.
Hu Yu thought that this path of clearing his name was a little torturous. He did not expect these two little girls to be so scheming.
Hu Yu stepped forward and said earnestly,” It’s my fault for not considering things properly. Knowledge is accumulated over time. It’s fine to take it slow.” “Eldest sister-in-law.”
Ouyang Mingzhu leaned on Hu Yu’s shoulder and sobbed.
Hu Yu also pulled Ouyang Mingyue over and hugged her.
There was no pressure at all. It was just two young ladies who were not scheming. No matter how bad they were in the past, just a few good words would make the two ladies forgive them.
Hu Yu didn’t even need to explain. The two little girls had already imagined a scene where their elder sister-in-law had painstakingly educated them, and they had automatically cleared the past of their original bodies.
It’s not that Eldest Sister-in-law treats us badly. It’s because Eldest Sister-in-law has high hopes for us that she’s so strict.
After comforting her, Hu Yu said,” From now on, go to school as usual. When you get home, come to my courtyard. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll teach you again. Girls, other than having some knowledge, their faces are also very important. From tomorrow onwards, we’ll take care of them in the afternoon.”
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue obediently agreed. However, their tear-streaked faces still had a dreamy expression on them. All of this felt like a dream.
If it was a dream, then this beautiful dream was too beautiful.
Hu Yu looked at the two people’s ordinary clothes and ordered the servant girl to make new clothes for the two people.
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue felt as if they had suddenly been soaked in a jar of honey. Their little hearts were thumping wildly, but they also revealed a faint smile on their faces. How could they not be happy to be loved by someone?
“When your elder brother returns, he will definitely be very happy to see you.” Hu Yu’s gaze was gentle.
With such a boring life, Hu Yu decided to start a business. While earning money, he could also earn faith. Those were all good things.
As for women, the most important thing was their figure and face. As long as the method was used correctly, they would not lack money. If they used these things to do good deeds, wouldn’t faith come?
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue were naturally ostracized and ridiculed in the school. Originally, the girls in the girls ’school were all officials and ministers. No matter how bad they were, they were still literate. Now that two country bumpkins had suddenly appeared, they would definitely be bullied.
She was bullied by others outside, but at home, her elder sister-in-law bullied her. How pitiful.
Hu Yu reached out and pinched their cheeks.” I’ll definitely make you two look beautiful. No one will dare to despise you anymore.”
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue felt terrified. Their eldest sister-in-law was too different today. She treated them so well that they were a little afraid. However, they did not know what to do..
